Good morning!  I think we'll have a check-in Monday (with a couple of betas Monday - FX!), but even if there's another next Thursday, I will be traveling and won't be able to post much...it will have to either be an informal check-in, or I'll have to post Wednesday night or Thursday afternoon.  

SO...I wanted to give a big slow clap to all the April ladies!  Whether you finally got your BFP, dealt with whatever ups/downs, or were disappointed with a BFN and are figuring out next steps, you are all amazing.  You are all fighters!  I wish there was some sort of reunion for broads like IF and 3T.

gsancho

Oh and I had my WTF Tuesday.  RE wants to do a freeze all in June, which is ok by me...but then he mentioned the possibility that we may then do another round of stims depending on what I get.  It was kind of discouraging that he think my ovaries will just suck it up again, before we even get started.  And I am waiting to hear back how much 2 rounds of ER would cost, especially with all the meds he's putting me on.  But I'm trying not to over-think it b/c there are so many unknowns still.  Hopefully, I just end up having to do the one round and be done.

QOTD: Is it bad I don't remember??  I was at a wedding shower this wkd where that question was asked and I had no idea.  DH said it was him when we were drunk at a bar with friends...so fitting of us.  At least I said it back, over a romantic shot of jager.

Rebecca'sMama

I got my official BFP yesterday with a beta of 292. My clinic doesn't check again for a week so I have until next Wednesday to know if the numbers are doubling at the appropriate rate. I am cautiously optimistic but still knowledgable that a lot ca go wrong in the coming days/weeks. 

@gsancho, thinking about two rounds of stims and ER is daunting. Fx for you!

QOTD: Dh said "I love you" first to me. I quickly followed though!!

Milagros315

@gsancho - I can do both check-ins next week. And I'm glad that you have a plan even though there are still some unknowns. If you pay OOP, I highly recommend getting on the meds donation list! I didn't think we'd be able to do a second cycle but they donation program ladies really helped us out.

Milagros315

Yesterday for the first time ever, I had a positive HPT! I used FRERs on 3dp and 4dp5dt and they were both negative. Yesterday, the FRER was a positive! I tried a digital and that was positive too. All of my tests were still positive today so I'm slowly starting to think this might be real. My beta isn't until Monday so I'm just going to keep peeing on things and praying until then. 

QOTD: DH was the first one to say it. I was surprised, but not definitely happy to hear it.

zeynsom

My beta is scheduled for tomorrow. I did FRER on Sunday last week (7dp3dt) and it was negative. It probably only tested my trigger shot and was too early to detect pregnancy but it affected me psychologically. I was planning to start testing on Tuesday but I simply could not. I am very nervous about tomorrow. I have no symptoms at all, not even breast tenderness but I also did not get my period yet, which is surprising given that my usual cycle is 24 days and today is the 29th day since my last period. Please pray for me for tomorrow!

sparkles2040

I had my 3rd Beta yesterday: 920!! Was hoping for 600+ and 920! So excited. We have our first ultrasound scheduled for 5/15. This doesnt seem real.

QOTD: Like @gsancho I cant remember either! Isnt that bad?! We knew each other for a few years and started dating. I wanted a committment, he flipped, I started dating other people, then a few months later he bought me a diamond necklace and agreed to be "official"- haha. Im pretty sure he said it first, but I felt it first. We had an odd start to our relationship. To this day my best friend refers to him as the creepy guy in the bar that I randomly went home with. But we'd been seeing each other on and off for years before that. And now they are homies. He is her Mr. fix it.

Irishlove16

Hi ladies! We had our second ultrasound this Tuesday. All looks great! Both baby a and baby b were measuring on track and had strong heartbeats of 118 and 122! We are keeping our fingers crossed that this is finally it for us! After our long bumpy road with 2 miscarriages under our belt I really hope it is. Our next ultrasound is scheduled for next Friday! If all goes well we can graduate!

QOTD: I believe I said it first and he followed immediately after :-)

BeckyP005

Beta tomorrow. No lines. I just can't believe this. Using donor eggs even suck.

kittenmittens9

@BeckyP005:  GL tomorrow!  I'm hoping the HPT wasn't sensitive enough and you get your BFP tomorrow.

@Zeynsom:  good luck to you tomorrow!

@sparkles2040: congrats on your beta, that looks like it's going up just fine

Still waiting for my beta saturday but I'm going to test tomorrow morning anyway.  

QOTD: DH said it first, twice actually.  We were away on a trip together and he said it quietly before he fell asleep.  I thought I imagined it but then he told me again the next day while we were watching a movie.

Milagros315

((hugs)) @BeckyP005. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

ltlavac

Hi Bunnies! I'm thrilled to report I just got my beta call, 245!!! I'm still in shock! I can't believe it's finally happened for me Going for beta #2 on Monday. 

Lady2010

Good luck everyone here and big {{{HUGS}}} to those that need them.

gsancho – glad to hear you have a plan.

Rebecca'sMama , Wolfette139ltlavac – Congratulations.  FX for your next beta

Milagros315 – that is awesome – FX for a positive beta

zeynsomkittenmittens9– good luck with your betas!

sparkles2040 – that is fantastic news!  Congratulations and good luck with your first u/s

Irishlove16 – whoo hoo!  While we will miss you, we are so excited for you to graduate!

BeckyP005 – FX tomorrow!  Really hoping the stick is wrong and you get your BFP tomorrow

AFM: You can move me to the 2WW.  I had my transfer today.  They actually called me at 8:30am and moved UP my time by an hour!  DH was on a plane and not landing till 9:30 so I was able to get to the airport to pick him up (thank goodness for wifi on planes so he saw my note),  and then drive to the appointment.  They transferred 1 expanded AB blastocyst.  Beta is Tues, 5/20.  Going beta or bust!  Hoping this one is it!

Edited for typo!

MKateG

@zeynsom its a good sign you've missed your period! But everyone is different and not everyone has symptoms so early FX for your beta, I'm hoping for good news!

I wasnt going to test again this am, but it gets me through the day to just tell myself ok "today I am pregnant", and the line is still getting darker now a good bit darker than the control. Tm is my first beta but mondays beta is the one I'm nervous about, so FX and praying these little embies are doing good.

My DH said it first I was kinda surprised but I said it back quickly :-)

diamante1181

Ok, first of all, I LOVE that bunny gif. It is too cute! I want to hug it and cradle it and brush its fur lol.

I'm technically in the 2ww as you know, but I have peed on 2 frers, and the second one came back darker as well. Beta is on Monday, and I'm hoping for decent numbers, God willing.

@BeckyP005 I hope your beta ends up surprising you, though I know it sucks because I've been there so many times it's ridiculous.

Congrats to my fellow beta cheaters who took the frers! LOL FX for all of everyone here.

qotd: DH said it first, after talking on the phone all night long. Literally I didn't sleep and still worked the whole day. 

KathrynShustek

Hi Ladies, it been very busy lately, Congrats to all you BFPs, and fingers crossed for those of you entering or still in your 2ww.

 

I had my first ultrasound yesterday - there are two little baby beans in my belly. Heart beats were going and we have two more ultrasounds with my RE over the next two weeks. Excited but cautiously so.

 

 

Kacelets

Hi! I'm not canceled or delayed. I just moved to May board because I thought I was holding up the Bunnies! I think I was the last one. Had ER yesterday with 17R/17F and 14 still kicking today (day 1) Have a great week!!

Mozzarella13

((Hugs)) @BeckyP005‌ hope the pee stick was wrong!!

gsancho

I'll keep everything crossed for you @BeckyP005‌ !!

heavenseyes55

dp21

Hey guys really scared and nervous, need prayers, started to spot last night and pass tissue and or blood clots   Going to doctor this morning to get a beta drawn. 

Milagros315

Hugs, thoughts, and prayers for you @dp21. 

zeynsom

I hope it is nothing @dp21 Keep us posted. T&P for you.

MKateG

Is this up coming week going to be the last week for the bunnies? Just wondering because it sounds like this board is coming to an end, but I just want to say Ive enjoyed getting to know all off you and hear about your journey, ive hurt for those hurting and am very happy and excitedd for those with good news, I'll continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers and hopefully see alot of you on another board :-)

Irishlove16

I hope everything is okay @dp21!

Milagros315

I think we should have at least two more weeks. My beta is next week, but I know there were some ladies with transfers after mine and I don't want to bail on them before they get their results!

dp21

Thanks for the support, IVF nurse just called, beta results are good, going in for an ultrasound at 2:30p to make sure everything is ok. 

MKateG

@Milagros315‌ ok thanks I didn't really want it to end just yet! @dp21 Im so glad you're levels are ok I pray that everything fine!

*****bfp warning!

My first beta is in and its 703! Wow, I'm wondering if we've got two little beans in there?!

dp21

Doctors are still so so after US.  They said we might be ok, we might not.  We are actually going on vacation tomorrow, have been stressed trying to find a place in Miami that will draw my blood on Sunday.  After several denials, we found a place that will gladly see us on Sunday.  We now are renting a car and have to drive an hour outside of Miami early in the am....gotta do we have to do.  Just praying I will be ok on vacation far away from clinic.  These plans were made long ago, no changing them now. 

Rebecca'sMama

@dp21‌ praying all is well for you and your LO. Hope you are able to enjoy your vacay.

BeckyP005

@dp21‌ thinking good thoughts for you and LO. Hugs..

BeckyP005

Donor egg cycle didn't work. I'm so crushed. Hoping MH wants to do a FET. He has his reasons. Thanks for all the support.

dp21

So sorry @BecckyP005, thinking of you!  Thanks for the well wishes, just praying my beta comes back ok on Sunday before sail on our cruise. 

zeynsom

zeynsom
